This article has a LOT of good intelligence on some of the advisors the Dems are going to bring forward to steer their agenda to resemble a "moderate" one. Not that I am in agreement with anything stated in the article, but as Sun Tzu once said: If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.

I heard Hugo Chavez is setting up his own religion. Maybe lefties can sign on to that.

Both parties are using religion to sucker the decent rural people of this nation. Almost every one of these politicians is a fraud.

The only "religion" the Dhimmocrats is interested in is the Religion of War. Being elitist Liberals, they feel totally comfortable surrendering us unwashed-masses into a 2nd-class, subservient status.

After all, we're supposed to look to them to run our lives for us, so submitting to that freak Allah fits very well.

Some Democrats are begging party leaders to pick up the pace -- the DNC has yet to hire a director of Catholic outreach after a long vacancy.

Paging Frances Kissling...

Just make sure it's a "feel good" church like Rick Warren's, the United Church of Christ, Episcopal, liberal Jewish or Muslim.

No practicing Catholics (that eliminates the Kennedys, Kerry and Rudy) or Protestants that believe in sin.

"Paging Frances Kissling..."

Is that old bag still heading "Catholics for Abortion" or whatever it's called. That organization is largely funded by Hewlett and Packard foundation-backed money. So if you need a computer, buy a Dell, or a Gateway, or a Toshiba or a Sony or an Acer ... anything but an HP or a Compaq.

Thou Shalt not Murder (at least, not if you can see the person's face, fingers, toes, etc...its OK if they are inside a womb)

Thou Shalt not Commit Adultery (well, if you do, be sure to use a condom..and anal sex among consenting adults is OK too)

Thous Shalt not Steal (of course, taxation is OK if it is being used to give to someone else and perhaps keep a bit of it for ourselves and to retain power)

Thou Shalt put no God before ME (unless it is the environment, we must keep the earth pristine...like a garden full of weeds)

Thou Shalt honor thy Father and thy Mother (unless they are old and draining away your inheritance, then you can pull the plug)

Need I go on?!??!?

Yeah, she's still there. God's giving her plenty of time to repent. Do you have a source for the HP info? Not disbelieving you, but I'd like a link if you've got one.

Catholics for Free Choice

funded by:

The Hewlett Foundation gave Catholics for Free Choice $600,000 in 2004, according to their 2004 Annual Report (p57). They also gave $600,000 in 1998 according to the 1999 Annual Report. "Population Issues" is a major focus of the Hewlett Foundation. They gave away millions to other groups even in the years that they didn't award grants to Catholics for Free Choice.

The Packard Foundation gave $41,000 to the Latin American subsidiary of Catholics for Free Choice, according to the 2002 990PF form. They gave $700,000 to that organization in 2003, according to their 2003 IRS filing. And so on.

Conveniently, Catholics for Free Choice has a former Packard Foundation person on their board of directors (strictly coincidental, I'm sure):

Cheryl Francisconi, MSW has experience as development assistant at the Ability Center of Greater Toledo, a disability rights advocacy organization, and at the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, where she most recently served as programs operations manager. She is currently serving as a consultant to the Packard Foundation's Organizational Effectiveness program and to KPMG's global grants program. She is a member of the National Association of Social Workers and a strong advocate of women's reproductive rights.

Sounds like time for a Dell, alright!

Democrats have spent the last two years wringing their hands over how to "get religion."

Step 1 - Pick up a bible and read it.
Step 2 - Believe what you read.
Step 3 - Realize that supporting abortion, gay rights, worshipping the creation instead of the creator and many other tent poles of the democratic party are at odds with steps one and two.

The Hewlett Foundation website specifically says they are wholly independent of both Hewlett-Packard and the Hewlett-Packard Company Foundation.

I haven't found the same disclaimer on the Packard Foundation website, but from what I did find, it looks like the original founders (of both foundations) left vast fortunes for philanthropy, which useless leeches have managed to batten onto to support their leftist causes and their own otherwise-unemployable asses.

I wouldn't buy an HP right now, because from what little I read of the WSJ, it looks like Carly Fiorina ran them into the ground, but I have hopes for a comeback.

Desperate situations calls for desperate measures.

I'll tell you how to tell if a Democrat is a Christian.

When they start supporting pro life and opposing gay rights and, not until. Because, to murder an unborn child is a sin.
To promote homosexuality is a sin.

They can paint their sin any color they desire but, in the end, it is still sin.
